Assets in minority groups have been assessed through a capitalistic, White culture emphasizing economic assets. Minorities, particularly Mexican/Latino immigrants and communities, build assets within a collectivistic perspective in Mexico and the United States. Family separation during migration, immigration policies, and anti-immigrant sentiment affect asset-building as the reduction in family communication reduces social capital. The United States has been built with immigrants and the goal for new migrants was to assimilate to their new environment and leave a poor history or lack of opportunities behind. Postmodernism facilitated a new perspective in which immigrants began changing, allowing a bicultural view in which immigrants are able to navigate both cultures. When investigating asset-building, bicultural characteristics are essential for immigrants to achieve economic security.

520 $a Assets in minority groups have been assessed through a capitalistic, White culture emphasizing economic assets. Minorities, particularly Mexican/Latino immigrants and communities, build assets within a collectivistic perspective in Mexico and the United States. Family separation during migration, immigration policies, and anti-immigrant sentiment affect asset-building as the reduction in family communication reduces social capital. The United States has been built with immigrants and the goal for new migrants was to assimilate to their new environment and leave a poor history or lack of opportunities behind. Postmodernism facilitated a new perspective in which immigrants began changing, allowing a bicultural view in which immigrants are able to navigate both cultures. When investigating asset-building, bicultural characteristics are essential for immigrants to achieve economic security.
520 $a Women are an essential part in a family's asset-building, though women have been categorized as secondary income earners in patriarchal societies. By looking at the women's experiences, feminist theory is a framework within which to consider events with fresh perspectives. Social and human sciences have been endorsing mixed methods. Asset building is a new field of study in minority populations. Mexican/Latino women engage in entrepreneurial activities and asset building, yet are not being recognized by them and often ignored by others. Mixed methodology offers the rigor and inclusiveness to gather the necessary data in asset building and perform in depth analysis that could not be done with either qualitative or quantitative analysis.
520 $a Results indicated that transnational environment has had an effect on families living in two environments. At the same time results show that women in transnational families engage in asset building behavior reducing their financial difficulties. Regardless of the anti-immigrant sentiment against Mexican immigrants, families have been able to continue their success in both political environments. Community environment has been reduced by immigrant families due to the recent raids and profiling along the country. Future research should emphasize the family's resilient behavior to improve services for Hispanic/Latino families and improve their community environment.
